Prince George is once again reminding royal fans of someone very special: his late grandmother, Princess Diana. While the young royal is often compared to Diana because of his looks, a new video has sparked fresh conversation for a different reason. This time, fans believe George has inherited one of Diana's most endearing personality traits.

A video recently went viral on Instagram showing the Wales family, particularly Princess Kate and George, talking to athletes at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. At one point during the interaction, George briefly looks down before glancing shyly toward his mother and letting out a small giggle. To many, it may seem like a small gesture, but royal fans saw the uncanny resemblance to his late grandmother. Diana was well known for her warm smile and bashful expressions during public appearances.

Even the post's creator highlighted the resemblance between George and Diana and captioned the clip, "Another lovely video of Prince George on Saturday! He definitely looks a lot like his grandma Diana here, so he looks like his dad too... that shy look! So Diana." The post continued, "George clearly is a lovely young man, so close to his family! I love that we get to see more of his personality every time he is out and about with his parents." The sweet moment won hearts online, with many saying it was impossible not to think of the beloved Princess of Wales. Watch the video here.

The comments section quickly filled with fans agreeing that George's mannerisms closely resemble those of his late grandmother. One fan wrote, "When he turns to SEE him num with that smile, he is Diana and William ❤️😍What a lovely young man!" While another replied, "That is the first thing I saw when he looked sideways at his mum - his grandmother." A third netizen agreed, saying, "Sweet young man 😍 Male version of Diana," while a fourth said, "The way is the look of grandma Diana, our beautiful and eternal princess!! ❤️❤️❤️ We love this family."

Another fan opined that George looks like Prince William, King Charles, Diana, and Charles Spencer all at once. In his words, "That was a look at William, Diana, and Charles Spencer all in one Prince George." Complimenting the young prince, another user wrote, "George looks like the fairytale version of Prince Charming." This is not the first time George has been linked to his grandmother.

During the royal family's annual Christmas Day walk last December, a well-wisher called out to the young prince, saying, “George, I’ve got something to say to you. Granny Diana would be ever so proud of you.” George smiled and simply replied, “Thank you.”
